For context I live on the road opposite the beach in a popular coastal village. I am about 80 m from the nearest house and about 50m from the beach cafe.
Terrible weather until mid afternoon so cafe shut early. Just had a knock on my door and a woman with an 10/11 yo boy asked me for my wifi password. Her son was bored, but the rest of the family wated to stay longer on the beach, so she thought he could use my wifi for his iPad. I said no and she muttered "thank you for nothing" and stomped off. Is this a thing now, letting people use your wifi!

Well, she had one hell of a brass neck didn't she! No, YANBU.

There's a thread about children and electronics.

If your blood pressure needs a raise, try there....

bigchris · 08/08/2017 18:26

Yanbu and no it's not a thing!

HipsterHunter · 08/08/2017 18:26

Ha ha ha no

KeiraKnightleyActsWithHerTeeth · 08/08/2017 18:27

Hahah what a cheeky bitch.
Change your wifi name to
"I want to rub against your beach picnic with my scissor dick" and see how many people you get then.

Another refugee of CheekyFuckerLand I see Grin.

Some people genuinely do think the rest of the world exists to serve their needs don't they?

blueskyinmarch · 08/08/2017 18:28

Blimey, cheeky much?

CherryChasingDotMuncher · 08/08/2017 18:28

What!!!! Shock

OP I think this may rival the Mexican House Thief!

Did she think you were a business?

TicketyBoo83 · 08/08/2017 18:29

Cheeky fucker!

guiltybystander · 08/08/2017 18:29

Other people's children getting bored is not your problem so you were absolutely right in denying the wifi password. He should stay with his family on the beach, not surfing the net on a bloody IPad. What's next? Asking you if he could go inside your house and surf the net from the sofa with a cup of tea and biscuits? Some people...

YANBU , I thought you were going to say she wanted to use the loo . Did she want you to have him sit in your lounge as well whilst he used it .

UtterlyFcked · 08/08/2017 18:32

What a cheeky tart. Who the hell takes an iPad to the beach Hmm

Redsrule · 08/08/2017 18:33

You should have said it's £3 p.h., but only available with the cream tea at £20 per head. Grin
I'm afraid I'd have been impolite in pointing out that my house isn't a café!

AllToadsLeadToHome · 08/08/2017 18:34

'Of course, that will be £50 for an hour please'

minionsrule · 08/08/2017 18:35

You should have said ge come in for the afternoon, mum not needed of course, then creepily smiled and shouted 'Frank darling we have a young visitor..... you haven't had one of those in a while since signing the register' Grin

MadMags · 08/08/2017 18:37

WTF???

itusedtobeverydifferent · 08/08/2017 18:39

Whoah what? Someone actually did this? I'd be stunned!

Googlieyes · 08/08/2017 18:40

Oh dear im sorry but the sheer cheek of this makes it hilarious! On what planet does someone think it's ok to knock at a complete strangers door and ask for their WiFi password then get stroppy when they say no? I'd have told her no in far ruder terms than you did!!

Valderal · 08/08/2017 18:42

Can't see what harm it would have done?

But yes, the brass neck of some people

KimmySchmidt1 · 08/08/2017 18:44

"hi, my son is bored and i can't be bothered to entertain him. Please can you do it?"
Massive imposition.
